All The Best Gifts For Fathers Day
With Fatherâs Day on Sunday 19th June fast approaching, the TruffleShuffle.com team have been thinking about our favourite gifts to help you avoid the last minute panic-buy of a few beers and some gardening tools for your Daddy-cool!
Your Dad may not know his Green Day from his Bullet For My Valentine, or think that Chipmunk is a long lost cousin of Alvin, Simon & Theodore, but as much as you may hate to admit it, he knew about some of rock ânâ rollâs most iconic stars long before you! Help him re-live his youth and feel like a rock star with some of these memorabilia pieces.
SUPERMANDAD?! If your Dad is your hero show him just how âsuperâ you think he is with these âMarvel-ousâ giftsâ¦! Your Mum may think your Dad is âMr Lazyâ, and he may think he is âMr Strongâ but let your Dad know how what you think of him with a gift from our Mr. Men collection.
And if none of those tickle your fancy, thereâs a whole other host of classic Dad-style gifts to choose from, including goodies from Monty Python, Viz, Top Gear and Rocky.
We have gifts galore for every dad out there, just visit TruffleShuffle.com to see what we have and get your Fathers Day pressie all wrapped up!

Perhaps Being A Princess Isn’t All That!!!
As a huge Disney fan which has me longing to be a princess I watched the recent Royal wedding just a little bit enviously!
That was until I saw this unfortunate comparison of two real life princesses and their Disney alter egos......
While Prince William and Kate are the vision of the classic fairytale ending poor Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been somewhat harshly likened to the Ugly Sisters thanks to their "alternative" head gear!
While my longing has reduced (slightly) I console myself with fabulous Disney accessories fit for a princess and dream that someday my prince will come.........
Here's looking forward to the next royal knees up, the wedding of Zara Phillips to her rugby prince(?!)

Space Hopper Saves The Day!
While getting our fix of the mags last night, TruffleShuffle came across this amazing story of how a Space Hopper saved the lives of two young girls and we had to share it with you.
The two girls aged 15 and 16 were walking along a sea wall in Dawlish when a freak wave knocked them off and swept them out to sea. Neighbours heard the girls screams and ran to help but when they realised the life bouy wouldnât reach them, they had to come up with another plan of action. Luckily, another quick thinking neighbour just happened to have a Space Hopper to hand?!! which he was able to throw out to where the girls were trying to stay afloat. With the help of the super space hopper, the girls were able to hold on till the life boat and coast guard rescue teams arrived.
Both girls went on to make a full recovery after their ordeal and will always remember the funny faced, bouncy toy that saved their lives. Get your very own super life saver for just £14.95 at TruffleShuffle.com.
We know what we are taking with us to the seaside this Summer!
